Safety catch fault

Recommended Posts

The safety catch on my recently acquired English box lock ejector resets itself when the first barrel is discharged. This is a rocker or "dicky bird" safety.

This is not a problem I have previously encountered on other guns, although I understand it is not uncommon. I suspect that the fault may lie with

the spring which does not appear to be the original [it is rather roughly finished compared with other components]. If this is the likely cause of my

problem I need to know whether it is too long, too short ,too strong, or too weak. Any helpful comments would be much appreciated as I would like to

try and sort it out myself.

 

As always, many thanks to anyone who can offer assistance.

 

Gustaf.
